This doesn't look very safe...but it is cool

I'm fascinated by these types of videos...easily amused, I guess. This would never pass muster here in the states, but it is cool to watch. I had no idea this type of truck existed. You would think it couldn't lift half of a shipping container, but it does. And check out the remote-controlled dolly thing!

Man, that seems like an awful spindly crane for a fully-loaded container. Maybe it's just for empties.

lol no kidding. load that container up with 20-40 tons and that arm looks like it will snap like a twig. not to mention the cargo will probably bust out the back as it rolls down the slope the crane creates. oh - and the hour it looks like it takes to hook up

seems like a lot of work for something that could be done in about 75 seconds with an overhead crane.

But really convenient when you've got a container that you need to get rid of. You only have to call the guy with that truck instead of a flatbed truck and a crane.
